North Korea would only use it to threaten us with anyway Not like they've used their massive military in the last 50 years for anything other than making threats so we give them food and oil and candy and such. The only real question is will we be ballsy enough to call that bluff if they've got a nuke? Not that they would magically get an ICBM system in the next 200 years or anything... But they could throw it by hand at South Korea.

The only fun in carrying a beef with someone is the public display of such discontentment... But at least now it will be obvious that's the case. Good move :)

Anyone trying to quantify Bush's performance in a traditional sense is retarded. It is impossible to know how any other person in the world would have reacted to September 11, and equally impossible to hold Bush to a standard that cannot be proven or even justifiably suggested that anyone else would have been able to achieve. And quite honestly, no one knows how the US should be acting in the current international system. NO ONE has put forth an authoritative argument on this topic. I'm taking American Security Policy and American Foreign Policy, both 4000-level courses. And the amount of vagueness present in these topics is mind-boggling. Are there obvious problems with what Bush is doing? Yes, definitely. Is there ANY indication that ANYONE will be better? Definitely not. Say what you will about what you want, this entire thread is opinion anyway, but try to keep a view of the larger picture. In my opinion, I think ousting Saddam was a reasonable action, but our process of rebuilding has been short of justifiable, I think. We're just realizing that there's no true overwhelming push for democracy now that Saddam is gone, like we'd thought. So we don't know what the hell to do.... If you do, then speak up :P
